FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — This year marks a milestone for one of Fredericksburg’s most iconic landmarks. Historic Kenmore, completed in 1775, turns 250 years old, and the community is invited to celebrate with a special Block Party on Saturday, September 27.
Kenmore has stood as a witness to the birth of a nation, the devastation of civil war, the march of modernization, and even natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes. Through it all, the House has endured—just as its stories have endured. As historian Philip J. Wertenbaker once said, “National history is based on local history.” Kenmore embodies that truth, linking Fredericksburg to the broader American story.
